What are for the best travel backpack for women that looks professional and durable for solo trips?

Hey everyone! I am looking for some advice on gear as I start planning more solo trips this year. I travel quite a bit for work but I really want to start exploring on my own during the weekends. I have noticed that my current bag looks a bit too much like a student backpack and I am really looking for the best travel backpack for women that looks sophisticated enough for a nice hotel lobby or a meeting but it has to be durable.

I am curious about what you all prioritize when you are traveling alone. Is it better to have something with a lot of hidden pockets for safety? Also, how do you handle the weight if you are carrying a laptop and a few days of clothes? I would love to hear what your favorite brand is for a bag that is high quality and really durable. I want something that will stay looking new even after being tossed in overhead bins. Thank you so much for your help!
